SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specications provided

with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions

listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or

seriousinjury.

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Battery powered wheelbarrow safety

warnings

1.

This machine cannot be used on the public road.

2.

While operating the machine, always wear non-

slip and protective footwear. Non-skid, closed-toed

safetybootsandshoeswillreducetheriskofinjury.

3. Inspect pathway before hauling objects/mate-

rials. Familiarizing yourself with the pathway and

ensuring it is wide enough to safely navigate the

machine under load will help reduce losing control

of the machine.

4. Use extreme caution on slippery, loose and

unstable terrain. Wet and slippery surfaces, such

as wet grassy areas, snow or ice, and loose and

unstable terrain, such as sand or gravel surfaces,

may cause the machine to lose traction and may

adversely affect steering, braking and stability.

5. Do not operate the machine on excessively

steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of

control, slipping and falling which may result in

personalinjury.Slopesgreaterthanthemaxi-

mum recommended grade and side grades may

increase the risk of instability and may adversely

affect the ability to stop safely.

6. When working on slopes, always be sure of

your footing, always work across the face

of slopes, never up or down, and exercise

extreme caution when changing direction. This

reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and

fallingwhichmayresultinpersonalinjury.

7. Whenever possible, use level areas for stop-

ping, loading and unloading and never leave

machine unattended on a slope. The machine is

more unstable when resting on a slope than when

resting on a level surface.

8. When stopping on slopes, face the machine

uphill or downhill and block unbraked wheels.

The machine is less stable when facing across a

slope. Unbraked wheels, especially those of the

castor-type, can potentially turn and roll downhill

even while the front wheel parking brake is set.

9. When leaving the machine unattended, set

parking brake once the machine is located in a

safe stopping area. The parking brake prevents

unwanted movement of the front wheel and can

improve stability.

10.

Ensure that ramps are clean, strong and secure.

Inordertoreducetheriskofinjury,allrampsmustbe

clear of loose debris and strong enough to withstand the

weight of anticipated loads that will be moved over them.

They must have adequate blocking underneath and

tobothsidestoeliminatedeectionsandside-to-side

movement under load. All ramps must be wide enough

to have sure footing while hauling loads across them.

11. Avoid extending ramps without toe boards

or railings over open spaces. Elevated open

spaces and open trenches invite accidental falls

andincreasethepotentialforseriousinjury.Use

toe boards or railings on ramps over open spaces

to prevent driving the machine off the ramp.

12. Ensure all locking screws are tightly secure

before using. Locking screws on the rear wheels

and open-type carrier front and side walls must be

secure to prevent unwanted movement of these

adjustablepartsofthemachine.

13.

Never operate the machine in an overloaded condi-

tion. Make sure the machine has the proper capacity

ratingfortheobjectsormaterialsthathavetobehauled.

Excessiveloadswillmakethemachinemoredifcult

to maneuver and stop, will increase stopping time and

distance, and will increase the risk of instability.

14. Never operate your machine in an over stacked

condition. Stacking material above the tray rim or

over the sides of the tray can cause the machine

to be uncontrollably out of balance and control.

15.

Use containers and tie-downs to secure loads.

Loose and/or insecure loads are more likely to shift

which can result in loss of stability and control.

16. Always maintain a rm grip on handles. Loss of

controlcanincreasetheriskofpersonalinjury.

17. Remove safety key when not in use. The safety

key prevents unwanted, powered use of the

machine, such as by children or other untrained

or unauthorized persons. Without the key, electric

power cannot be turned “on”.

18. Use a sturdy plate with anti-slip and detach-

ment prevention function when loading and/

or unloading this machine for transportation,

or moving this machine between different

levels. Make sure the plate inclination does not

exceed 12°, and operate the machine slowly

and carefully. Unstable and quick operation

may result in overturn and/or falling.

19.

Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this machine.

Operation

1. When operating the machine, stand behind the

machine and hold the handles rmly.

2. Do not operate the machine while riding on the

machine.

3. Do not allow others to ride on the machine.

4. When operating the machine in reverse and

walking backward, watch behind you and be

careful not to slip or trip.

5. Do not use the machine when visibility is poor

because there is a risk of striking obstacles.

6. When operating the machine on rough ground,

decrease speed and exercise caution.

7. When using the machine, avoid soft ground

to prevent overturn due to the shoulder of the

road collapsing.

15 ENGLISH

8. Do not operate the machine on upward slopes

greater than 12°.

9. If you nd an abnormality, stop the machine

on at ground. Before inspecting the machine,

pull the brake lever and lock the brake, and

then turn the power off.

10.

Before operating the machine, make sure that

the lock lever is fully pulled down and com-

pletely locked. If the lock is incomplete, there is a

riskofaccidentorinjuryasthecarrierorbucketmay

betiltedandtheobjectsfallwhengoingdownhill.

11. Be careful not to entangle the cords with the

load or obstacles.

Operation on slopes

1. Do not cross on slopes.

2.

Be sure to decrease speed and exercise caution.

3. Exercise caution when starting or stopping the

machine on slopes.

4. As the loads become less stable on slopes,

rmly secure the loads with ropes.

5.

As the machine becomes unstable depending on the

condition of the road, keep the load to a minimum.

6. As the view is obscured on slopes, keep the

height of the load to a minimum.

7. Never park the machine on steep slopes. Park

the machine on at ground, pull the brake

lever and lock the brake, and then turn the

power off.

8. Do not change the direction or speed mode on

steep slopes.

9. Do not release the switch trigger on upward

10.

Make sure that the remaining battery capacity

is enough before operating on slopes. If the

remaining battery capacity is not enough, charge

the battery or replace it with a charged one.

Loading objects

1. Do not overload objects. When loading

objects, be sure to follow the instructions and

load limits in the manual.

2. Firmly secure the objects with ropes.

3. Load the objects within the carrier or bucket.

Iftheobjectsprotrudefromthecarrierorbucket,

thereisariskofaccidentsduetotheobjects

falling or contact obstacles such as walls.

4. Be sure that loaded objects are below eye

level. If the load is too high, it is dangerous

because the view is obscured. Also, there is a risk

ofoverturningandinjurybecausetheloadislikely

to be unbalanced.

5. Load the objects on the carrier or bucket

evenly.Iftheobjectsareloadedunevenly,thereis

ariskofoverturningandinjurybecausetheloadis

likely to be unbalanced.

6. Before loading the objects or operating the

machine, make sure that the lock lever is fully

pulled down and completely locked.

7. Be sure to load heavy objects rst to keep

balance.

Machine / battery protection system

The machine is equipped with a machine/battery

protection system. This system automatically cuts off

power to the motor to extend machine and battery life.

The machine will automatically stop during operation

if the machine or battery cartridge is under one of the

following conditions. A short beep sound is emitted

before the machine stops automatically. The battery

indicators and LED indicators blink while the beep

sound is emitted.

Overload protection

When the machine is operated in a manner that causes

it to draw an abnormally high current, the machine auto-

matically stops without any indication. In this situation,

turn the machine off and remove the cause of overload,

and then turn the machine on to restart.

Overheat protection

When the machine is overheated, the machine stops

automatically. Let the machine cool down before turning

the machine on again. The overheat protection is likely

to work under high temperature environment.

Overdischarge protection

When the battery capacity becomes low, the machine

stops automatically. If the machine does not operate

even when the switches are operated, remove the

battery cartridge and charge it.
